We need far more than equal speaking time-—which I agree with. We need mods who ask one-sentence questions only. No speeches. Mods should be behind a darkened screen so they get NO airtime whatsoever. EVERY candidate answers the same question.
Ooooh, behind a dark screen. I LIKE that idea a ton. I am so tired of the primping, the glaring, the sneering and the ridiculous antics of the “moderators”. NONE of the candidates should have to put up with that from 12 months out to election day. I mean, what in heck does it add of value?
Step further. Have the candidates answer each question separately (ie: alone), then air them all, sequentially, for the hour or whatever it takes to get them all played.
